GENERAL « Operational - MTU 2:
ECT specric ~ Arthur G. Vaivada

Rarss (a) HKH2W+1607, 30 March 1956 :
(b) HKH-W-1505, 28 December 1955 a

fins Salt

!
Regarding reference (a) the Station concurs fully with the proposed promotion a
of Arthur G. Vaivada and desires also at this time to bring to the attention E i
of Headquarters the merits of granting Vaivada steff status either eo
concurrently with the cromotion or as soon thereafter as may prove feasible. : !

_The agent himself has expressed a keen interest in acquiring such status,

- for a mmber of obvious reasons. As a contract agent, Veivada nas not been
entitled <o the standard step increeses that accrue to regular GS enployees .
Moreover he has not had the benefit of recent legislative increases in basic
salary rates, such taai his salary, originally set 16 August 1954 2+ the then
GS-9 level, is still $5050.C0 per anmum. Perhaps of more importance than

losing out in terms of the retirement, health insurance, and other more lonz-
term advanteces availztle to steff personnel. The agent has several tines

he is not receiving retirement credits with his years of service. /Vaivada's
expressed career interests lie in contimed employment by KUBARK, nore

especially in the area of unofficial cover assignments in the field, and in
view of nis qualities of character end nigh level of performance for KUBARK
the Station hes no hesitetion in recommending to Headquarters that he be
awarded the desired chznge in status.

In view of the agent's present salary level it is recommended’ that the

annum salary_: of 95,915.00. If_ Headcuarters_concurs_in_the_recomnendation—

Dear Mr, Wilms,

_As a student of econonics with special emphasis on the Lelin American areas, 1

As to my ruclifications, I hive attended the School of Economics Eciences at the
University of Costa Rica from 1949 throuch 1953. In all my my previous | courses J
have done above average, as can be sttested by the scho- o1s* concerned.

My present desire is to continue xy study of economies at the University
of Habana for one year, or as lon~ as if may be deeved necessary to obtain a -
Bachelor of Science derree in economics. I am also interested in the possibility
of having the scholarship renewed at the end of the period, so that I may be
able to begin yraduate work in economics. Fecause I am a-‘iarried :zan with tno
small children, I would like to imow whether the scholarship granted would be
sifficient to cover the cost of good and housing in addition to tuition, books, ard
the nermal ucademic expenses, which I estinate to be about $3000.00 annually.

: logical, iowever, this point will be discussed witn headquarters
: if and when subject tolieves the time is risht to branch out.

Commercial Department of the Ministry of Finance on a full time
basis. However, he is also the code and cipher specialist within .
the Costa Rican Government and personally provided the coces now

latter responsibility apparently. stems from his hobbycf working. with
codes and ciphers and the absence of any better-qualified expert’

on this subject.. He is a member of the American Cryptogram Association
is-a "ham" radio operator, an expert photographer, and en amateur
chemist, among other things. During the 1948 revolution, he pro-

vided the rebel forces with code systems and broke a code being used

by the government forces. On other occasions*he has furnished codes

to the incumbent administration during times of emergency, such as 7
the abortive invasion of Costa Rica from Nicaragua during 1949. a

Le " subject then digressed from code and cipher talk to the
. subject of secret inks, their use, and’ potentialities and possible
.- methods of detection. He indicated that he was interestea in establish-
' ing a secret censorship of suspect mail coming into. the. country,
particularly the mail of know Communists, and inquired whether any
assistance, could be offered in this field of secret writing detection
and clandestine censorship techniques. . oF

|
|

L 5e- In view of the fact that this sudden. turn in the con- :
' versation struck uncomfortably close to the HUMANOID-1 and HUMANOID-2.
operation, we attempted to discourage subject by pointing out that

such a proposal was illegal and would have drastically danzerous ~
political and legal repercussions if it were attempted and leaked. out.
We asked if Foreign Minister LARA had approved. this censorship
proposition and also inquired how the Foreign Office could possibly
interest itself in a matter which would seem to come under the -

jurisdiction of Seguridad Publica. POVEDANO replied that it had not 1
been discussed in plain words with LARA, but that he would discuss it i
with him in order so determine whether the matter shoula be dropped a:
or explored further. He was cautioned not to tell LARA of his : ru
conversations with the Embassy officers. -

6. Several days later subject advised that he had discussed

-¢. °. the matter fully with Foreign Minister LARA and that the latter had 3 i

i. “been extremely interested in the proposal. However, LARA pointed at i

e out that the Foreign Office had no jurisdiction in this regard and

a told POVEDANO to discuss the proposition with Lt. Col. Gonzalo SEGARES, |

te Oficial Mayor of Seguridad Publica.. = |
|

7. According to POVEDANO, SEGARES became very enthusiastic
about the idea and authorized subject to cerry out further study and
- ‘collect the necessary technical data and equiptient. SECARES offered
-, to provide funds for purchase of required. chemicals, etc., for ex-

- perimentation in secret ink detection and instructed subject to make
plans for the training of several additional persons in the procedure. |
Subject indicated to. SEGARES that he would use his home darkroom and.

laboratory for this training and possibly even for the_ eventual _

processing of suspect correspondence.

8. With this ‘official authorization and support, subject
again inquired whether it would be possible for us to assist him in
obtaining pertinent manuals, background literature, reference material,

‘and technical advice on mail censorship procedures and secret writing
detection. In view of subject's apparent official backlog and
—personal_determination_to—continue—his-inquiries.,_we_deciced_to_make

9. Accordingly, RUSSO described a personal friend-in the
: Division of Communications and Records of the Department who had had
: °° Considerable experience in censorship work and. offered to make in-
quiries of this individual for any available material. It was also
i indicated that this person. would be asked to comment on the probable _
: reaction of the Department.to an official confidential request from
the Costa Rican Government for assistance. It was suggested.to. subject
‘that he not discuss this matter with any other individuals pending -
a reply to our inquiries, to which he agreed. He also agréed that
the best approach to this whole project would be to proceed only with
: training and planning activities at this time and not attempt to
Lk initiate actual censorship until an emergency arises, such as a
: , Communist armed uprising or a third worla war. However, on this
_ -latter point it is believed probable that subject would prefer to
i begin the activity regardless of whether an emergency arises, in order
i; to obtain coverage of current Communist activities... ne -

Lhe, 10. As is obvious from the above conversations, a number
fee of operational possibilities (and hazards} are presented to us and -
P headquarters comments and guidance are respectfully requested.
Depending on headquarters desires and policies, we could possibly
gradually discourage subject from ever initiating his project prior ..
. to an emergency while at the same time assisting him with pertinent .
written material provided. by headquarters for his planning and train-
ing purposes. This would: have the advantage of facilitating the
organization of a competent crew on a stand-by basis who could be put j
to work if a world’ war were to break out.. We could tap this govern- :
ment censorship activity. However, in view of our presently only
limited post office coverage, a more attractive opportunity might be
sincerely to assist subject, insure his development of a secure project,
and ‘substitute our present coverage by an all-Costa Rican operation.
-. It appears that we could control such an operation either by working
_ through subject or by dealing directly with Colonel SEGARES. In _.
this latter situation, we could probably expand the activity to provide
‘coverage of cable traffic, and possibly international telephone calls.
“A danger here is the traditional lack of security consciousness of ~~ ~~
Costay- Ricans ee SS

. 11.. In any event we are faced with a situation which

- presents a potential security threat to our current post office

‘censorship activity. Headquarters comments are requested as soon as
possible on at least the following points: ; ;

ourselves informed of his progress?

bros, : . Is headquarters interested in the possibility’, _
i of replacing our presently incomplete post office coverage

ho - with an all-Costa Rican operation which we could tap either

in through POVEDANO or directly through SEGARES?

. d. Unless advised to the contrary, we will continue
i : our. present HUMANOID-1 and HUMANCID-2 activities during’

i - this period despite POVEDANO's project. HUMANOID will be
i : alerted, however.

i LO . e. Is headquarters interested in our casually

. f. Could headquarters provide an opinion as to what. a
the reaction of the Department of State would be to a formal 2
request from the Costa Rican Government for assistance on :
either codes and ciphers or clandestine censorship?

Oo 12. It is to be noted that POVEDANO knows RUSSO as just
‘another Embassy officer. In all our discussion with him we have
Stressed that this is a subject which RUSSO cannot aiscuss in his |
‘Official capacity, but would like to help on a personal basis because
the activity would be directed against the Communists. POVEDANO has .
_. apparently accepted this relationship and assures that he has not
_ indicated to LARA or SEGARES that he has talked with RUSSO, merely -
informing them that he, PCVEDANO, would attempt’ to obtain reference
. Material through friends in the American Cryptographic. Society’ and -
- elsewhere.

The continued good will of POVEDANO is deemed of operational value as
-he appears to be well connected in high government circles. ;

us continually as to what we have learned, and will be suspending

COMMENTS (Contd) ectivities and personalities end his rrasp of the
verious revolutionary movements und firures'has been | :
freely shared with the Station Chief.- These "briefing. -
meetings® represent an intangible. contribution to =
the over-all performance of this Stetion. Subject is
eager to expend his operations, and, if headouarters
approves the removal of present operational restric-
tions, it is believed he can he riven further 7
responsibilities, purticularly. in the recruiting. of
additional sub-epents. This St:.tion is presently
interested in accomplishing a parallel penetration of
the Communist Party, in expanding routine investipa-
tive coveryge, and in ceveloping additional sources
on political movements. It is believed that suiject
ns has potential in esch of these fields. iiowever, as’
; reported previcusly, HUMANOID is beset with financial
problems which undoubtedly detract fron his full 7
: . ope. working efficiency on matters of interest to us. His
. : a GI subsistence is currently terminated curing the
school vacations and a certain portion of his time is
devoted to odd jobs in an effort to eugment his
income. The former Chief of Station recom-ended an
increase from 1,000 to 1,500 colones in July, 1951, a
recommendation in which the writer concurred. However,
in the event current onerational restrictions are !
removed, it is desired to recomend at this time an i
. . increase to sixteen hundred (1,6C0) colones per month. i
. . The additional one hundred colones permonth is oh |

MEMORANDUM FOAs Chief, WHD-2/FI
Attention: Mr. John Cavadine

SUBJECT 1 Training Report on Arthur G. VAIVADA, (P) -
Training Alias: "VICKS"

1. Arthur G. VAIVADA was trained covertly by instructors of this .
office in Washington, D. C. from 5S October through 25 November 1953.
The original Training Request Form dated 31 August 1953 reveals the
following pertinent information:

"Subject is thirty-one years of age, married, and aU. S.
citizen by birth. VAIVADA's previous intelligence experience .
includes eight years with the U. S. Air Force, During this ; f
time he served as an intelligence specialist in the Panara ;
‘and Burma-India Theaters. In 1949 he was employed by CIA... ~ SE
and spent most of the following four years in Costa Rica .

where he was engaged-in the spotting, recruiting, and handling
of agents, Although subject has never lived in his proposed
area of operations, he possesses a fluent comand of the | _
Spanish language. VAIVADA's future ;assignment, under contract .

agent status, will be that of principal agent with, the ‘primary. . :
objective to develop inferzation on the Commnist Party in. E
Argentina, He will also be expected: to penetrate-or- direct
the penetration of the Argentine Communist Party." ~~

2. The instructors who participated in Subject's training indicate
they were most favorably impressed with VAIVADA and feel that he is
qualified for his proposed mission. He possesses a sound practical
knowledge of basic clandestine operational principles. He should —
become an increasingly valuable agent in the long range work of this
organization, ; ; ao

7 3. VAIVADA received instruction in the subjects set forth on the
attached Training Evaluation Reports. The following supplementary
, reading and discussion material were also covered,

i MEMORANDUM FOR? Special Deputy, WH l, December 1553
; SUBIC: Mr. Ross CRCZIER

By pre-arrangezent through Mr, Smyser I had an interview with Mr. Ross
Crozier in my room at the Hotel Raleigh on the nicht of ? December 1953
for the purpose of getting an impression as to whether it was possible
that he could be used to advantage in our progran.

Mr. Crozier has been a contract agent in Costa Rica for approximately
years, He is married to a Costa Rican and has 2 children, ases 2 and 4.
He was in a student capacity in Costa:Rica, From my :nowledze of .
“reporting done by the station in Costa Rica and the indication of sources
of inicrmation in reports from that station, I am inclined to think thet
he very ably handled hiaself. In addition, I was very auch impressed
with him during the course of the interview and feel that he is an ex-
cellent type, having all the necessary; qualifications for giving sub-
Stantial assistance to our program. He has 7 months remaining under the
GI assistance bill for educational Purposes and it can be satisfactorily
arranged by him to complete his education at San Carlos University,
Guatemala. Under the Guatemalan law his wife, beinz a Costa Rican,
becomes a Guatazalan citizen upon her establishment of residence in|

' Guatemala and this is a distinct advantege.

He has a valid U.S. passport on which his two children are carried but. _ :
it will be desirable that he enter Guatemala as a tourist, either with a
tourist visa in his passport or.on a tourist card. The children could
also be issued tourist cards. The use of a tourist card elininates

the necessity of his reportins to the police. He can stay 6 months and . .
then obtain a renewal of the tourist card withcct leaving the country, re ee
Within a relatively short time he unguesticnnably could be of distinct a ee i
advantage to us on reporting on activities and attitudes of students and i i

- other elements. aos ; . :

He could act as a cut-out, I feel that he is qualified to actually
' develop a penetration into the Commnist Party, a feat with which he
had some success in Costa Rica. He cc:ld hendle an important PP opera-
tion with Enrique SALAZAR Liquens(also known es Osear H. CARTA in
station files), which operaticn is presently beinz handled threugh
_ Donald 0. Hediger. Irrespective of whether Hediger continues with
’ ” Guatenala or is given assigment outsise the country, I believe that it
is important to have Crozier with us in Guatemala. We can find plenty
for him to do.

- MEMORANDUM FOR FILE

25 Koverber 1953
SUEJECT: EIDRADIAL

On Wednesday 18 November 1953 subject was introduced to John Heyn. The
introduction wes deaned advisable, inasmuch es it would probably facilitate
sibsequent meetines in Euvenos Aires there it is anticipated that subject will
be operating, providing his visa is grented. :

BIRADIAL indicated he had not heard from the Argentine Embassy of Costa
Rica, ABnce is planning to have his wife write to follow this matter inmediately.

BIRADIAL mentioned’ the fact that his wife's relatives, and with whom he
may dvell when he first moves to Buenos Aires, may be in a position to assist
in obtaining a visa for subject. He indicated that having a native of the
country render some assistance in this regard may be the solution to any possible
difficulties. It apyears logical, however, he was informed not to make any
approaches at this tire,

He agTin noted that inasmuch as it will be necessary to stop in Costa Rica
to pick up his visa when granted, he sugrested the possibility of leaving for
Costa Rica shortly following the termination of his covert treining., As previously
indicated he felt that nis presence in Costa Rica, where he can plausibly maintain
himself and his family, and where he may be in personal touch with the Argentine
imbassy, may be to his. advantege in securing his visa.

On 2) November 1953, subject called to inform he had received a letter
from the Argentine Exbassy in Costa Rica informing him his visa had been denied,
He informed he still felt he could obtain it but it may be necessary to seek
assistance from his wife's relatives in Evenos Aires or it may be necessary to
go back to Costa Rica for a short Period to finalize the matter. Too, he
suggested that in the event he cannot optain the appropriate permission to enter
Buenos Aires the Agency may desire to send him some where else in Latin A4nerica,
possibly Cuba (he mentioned specifically) or ‘sone other country. In this
connection, he felt that cover~wise he and his family would be in a more secure
position if they were in Costa Rica while awaiting placement,

or Plan. to see EIRADIAL on 25 tioverber 1953. .

MEMORANDUM FOR: Record

SUBJECT ~ : Project HUMANOID

l. 4 total of $5934.00 was originally requested for this project . i
for the period 1 March 52 to 28 February 53. The amount actually ;
approved was $£000,00 (Form No. 51-91, project folder). ;

2. $5100.00 of tne approved amount was to provide for the compen-
sation of four agents who were to be reimbursed as follows:

Q BUMANOID 1600.00 (colones) - 4
HUMANOTD-1. 150.00 ( "t ) 4
HUBANOTD-2 250.00{ *  ) . oe al
HUZANOID~3 900.00( " )

3. The funding requirements for agent salaries were calcubted .
(by the Headquarters case officer, Tom Barrett) at a rate 8 to 1 (e.g.,
HUKANOID was to receive ¢1600.00 or $200.00 per ronth).

4. However, the rate of exchange has fluctuated since the original
- funding estimates were made. The present rate is 6.63 to l. Accordingly,
“the monthly pay scale for HUMANOID in U. S. currency would be approxi-
mately $241.00 (or #1600.00), The pay scales of the other agents are

_ similarly effedted.

5. This situation was explained to the Budget office (Mr. Bauer, . =
extension 2017) and the Plans office (Mr, Ziegler). { stated that
dollar éxpenditures would be in excess of the amounts provided in the
.,, Project if we were to continue payments to the agents at the colon

“rates previously established. Mr. Ziegler informed me that we could
." nonetheless continue the present colon pay scale. Ke further advised
_ that budgetary adjustments could be made at a later date when it became
evident that the project allotment would definitely be exceeded dus to
currency fluctuations. A project amendment is not then required at
this time. The station may be advised to continue payments in colones
. in the amounts shown in paragraph 2, above,

2 October 1953

SULUECT 3: ; BIRADILL 202-2723

Cn 1 October 1753 the writer ss Ceorge vi feeler wes introduced to
Agent Arthur G. Yaiveda "(p) by J. G. Hanke a pis apartment B-21, Ven Eureny
Presidential Gardens, Alexandria, Virginia. e¢ introduction was de:med

ecvisable, inasmuch as Agent is to be inherited “by Eranch II. Mr. Heyn
informs he is not avsilable to handle Agent at this tine but will meet b
in about three weeks. ; *

2. %In accordance with instructions. received from Covert Training

“Offices, Agent is to report for covert training at 200-2Cth St. HN. W.,

Washington, D. C. on 5 October 1953 at 1415 Hrs. He is to ask for Mr.

Cal when he ervives. agent is to be known as kr. Vicks. The instructions
were passed on to the Agente He vas also inforred to cal) X2296 ind ask
for George wheeler in the event he desired to make an appointment to discuss

business matters.

3. In connection with agent's previous. inquiry regarding the possibility.
of obtaining U. S. Citizenship for his wife, Mr. wake inforned hin that
under the circumstances under which his wife entered the U. S., namely as
a tourist, it would not be possible to plausibly apply for l. S. Citizen-
Ship. Honke also informed that although pussible to rush the Citizenship
through, it wes felt.inadvisable at this tine since the proceedure might
Jeoperdize the present existing cover arrangement. 4gent seemed to
understand the difficulties involveé and raised no particuler objection.

he ‘Agent informed several neighbors had inquired ss to the nature
of his business. te has informed them that he is a student and is
studying at George Washington University in the field of Economics.
‘This story had been decided upon before the writer ceme upon the’ scene.
Since Agent has not commenced Study at GW it was sugrested to him that
he commence teking a course cr ‘mo as soon as pessitle. He informed he
would do this as soon as he learns of the details as to his hours to be

devoted to Covert Training. 7

5. Although there is no assurance subject will be rranted permission
to enter Argentina, subject previously indiczted he could forsee no problea

: . in this regard. He did mcke insuiry, however, as to shat his status would
_ be should ine not be allowed entrance to Argentina. .

6, It is unfortunste that Agent is residing in the Nashington D.C.
area inasmuch as that in itself is undoubtedly consicered as a Government

' Stigma. The possibility exists thet the wrong person or persons will learn

.of his and his wife's presence in this area.
7. The file fails to reflect what provision, if any, has been mde te

a, _ ; 1. During the tine thet HUMANOID was at Headquarters on TDY in late August ard :
; ' Early September, he raised the question of the, citizenship stetus of his wife, who hee
: "hot yet taken out hee fist papers but wished to do so if possible. E,ys cuestion was
; Whether it was operationally desirable on our part, which I answered saying it would be
BSE (after talking with Hr. iieyn). Actually, there is no strong advantaye, but at leact
it should be started smetine, and there is ro advantage to us in having her remain
& Costa Kican since she will be an dnerican citizen at some date in the future.

| with Mr. Heyn about the means by which his wife nipht be eble to stert her papers while

; HUMANOID is in training at “eadquerters. hy understanding is that she would have to leave

‘ and cannot as such aprly for citizenship even if her husband in a U.S. citizen.

{
i
i 2. Webn fivmaxo1p left on his vacation, it was understood that I would be checking : i

3. Mr. Heyn isformed me thet there is a section which handled these cuestions
of citizenship for people we are i:.terested iny and said he would be checking with thet
-person. I told HUM..NOID that the next person who handled him would be able to give his im
further details on this whole matter, : ;

ened SERGI ee cee

4 I would recomend that HUMANOID be eiven all help possible to have his wife :
started on her papers before they %§ go our uncer EIRADIAL, sime they will be gone for ‘

MEMORATIOM FOR RECCRD
SUBJECT; Interview with Arthur 6, VAIV.It

1, On 9 Sentanber 1953 subject wes egain contected at his spartrent and the new
contract was signed. Subject wic told that tie cortrect clause dealing with additicral
committments not included in the con‘ract was stendsrd ezency protection against unzuthe
orized nromises by rersons contacting him, such as the case o"ficer, Ye was told, nove
ever, that the case officer's persons] exrerience has been thst the azency makes all
possible efforts to act in good faith end with commen sense if ecntraet nreblems
arise at a later date.

1
3

2 Thse"offset"yrovisions of the contrast wer expleined, emphasizing the azency's
view that any future cover business activity on his rart vould be rossible only

because cf the salary ve pay. Therefor, rdest rrofits, if any, vould be cffset against
salary cue to hin, t was rointed cut that the cese officer's understending was that
-4f subject's diligence resulted in sizable profits, the azercy would rrobably consi er
‘revising the contract to allow subject a scare cf the profits. However, subject agreed
that this questicn was realiy subordinate to the main surpese of @ cover activity,

waich weuld be to obtain cover, not pro”its.

NOTE: Subject's questicns eppeared rotiviated by the contract form, which was
more complicated and "legalistic" in arppeerance than the ne written in the field
under which he has been over: ting for the rast four wears, iis attitude at all tines
was most cooreretive, and he egreed that the snirit in which the contract was carried
cut, cn both sides, was as irmcrtant es the provisions, It vas carefully explained to
him that EXEXEXHZUEEE the contractserved the double purrose cf defingng the rights end
obligaticns cf both himself and the agency, EMEYE£EAZ end for thet reasen my at poirts
“seem more "legalistic" than EXERX resvlerly necessery. However, subject steted several
times that he hed had nothing but the best of relations with the rersons who have

' directed him so far, and it is the case officer's opinion that ne has YHIE the utmost

faith in the good intentions cf the agency.

3. Subject ws inferred thet"Career" status, in which he has expressed interest

over the past two years, would be considered at the end of the rresent tes Jyear contract,

and would depend on his operaticnal success during that peried and his ability to to.
providd durable cover which would enetle hi to ecntinue verkirg for us.

4. The subject's travel reinburserent is being handled ty Hanke (x3504), and will
be ready for him when he returns to wasnirg‘on on cr abcut 2 Cctoter. Subject went on

It is the cas- officsr's opinion that subject has carefully controlled hig’

technical surveillance. In the latter instance, his quick thinking BO ‘f
in renoving the equipment prevented its discovery, when the opera- E j
‘tion was blewn due to circunstences unrelated. to his’ hancling of =

the “operation. More recently, 3IRADIAL personally entered tne. Coa-

“sacs «iv. tiindedness, and ability to exercise good judgement under crerational

. become necessary due to the expiration of his cover status as a

Personal data:

BIRADIAL is an Azerican citizen born in Dlinois in 1922, -
who is married to a Costa Rican and has tyvo sméll children.
He spent approxdmately 5 years doing U.S. Air Force intel-
ligence work in the C3I and Carribean Theatres, Since June
1949 he has-worked for KU3ARK in Costa tica as a Contract
Agent under: student cover, ile is particularly adept at +
spotting and recruiting agents and has successfully super-
vised the direction of a high-level Comumist Party
penetration agent.

5S. Cover:

Clandestine contact will be arranged between the agent and
the c@se officer, In view of the-sensitive nature of his —
objectives and the modest position he is likely to occupy
in the American comunity in Buenos Aires, it is regarded
&s inconsistent and insecure for SIRADIAL to enter into a .
social relationship with his case officer.

Subject has been accepted as a student at the University of
Buenos Aires for the school year beginning March 195).
Having a wife and two children he will try to establish hin-
self in the photographic business, ostensibly to nake ends
meet while completing his studies. He is qualified and has
had experience in this business before. By the tine his
studies are completed (in about oné year) he proposes to

“have developed ‘his photographic business sufficiently to

provide adequate cover, justifying his remaining in Argentinas

\ 6. Contact and Conmmications:

The case officer will contact BIRADIAL directly to provide
him with direction and collect his reports. Joth are native-
born Americans, Contacts will be clandestine upon pretexts
still to be arranged,

any sub-agents subsequently recruited also will be contacted
clandestinely. They will be confined to persons witiin the
normal social and business strata of BIRADIAL,

No special problems of contact and comunication are. anti-
cipated, .

noted that HUMANOID's relations with the Dircevor sf the vost Office
: . have been stronztherned con isicerably in recent months, The Uirector
has beon outssoxenly enti-Sommuust in several long discuseions and
has referrec once or twice to the fact tust his personal war uzeinst
the local Communists, 1.0., interception and confiscation of
Communist propaganda, oPOare to go unrecognised by the Custa Rican
govornnent, iio Intinated thut he “Ls more awure of the Gan zers
presontce by Communist setivitios than are the security « thoritles,
We fcel confident tnet no Costh Rican officials are actively
attempting to identify higher elemsats in the net, control the
Operation, or dotect the natures of our intollizense interesta, The
Director's personal censorship enounts to little more than confise
“eating obvious Comiiniss propucomdsa (most of whics ds turned over to
Sug in bulis) end. opening lettors for berusal. Ee has no facilities :
‘for copying such letters and maintains no files of past corrsspondence.
The chief of the Costa Rizan Intelligence Service is well xnown to ug
i, .ang on the para cccasions whon Ao requasts the Director te intercept
a lctter we hear of 1¢ from efther the Director or HUMANOIDe2,

kh. In view of tho dovolosnent of sore intimate relations
between HUMANOID and the Director and the lutter's interast in whether
any record exists of his cooperation in anti-Commmist aztivitios, we
n. ‘ have obtained prelizinary PRQ deta from him and are presently con-
oF ‘sidering the possibility of rocuesting clonrance as a paid a-ont.
: Thia will be the subject of a future dispatch. Purthor Indication of

S. with regerd to Peragrsph 6 of reforunce dispateh,
' we have long been conceraicd over the leck of additional cutout, and
the scope of responsibilitics presently assigued to HUMANOID, we hore
Bo to separate the mail intercant and the Vansuardia Pop.lar operations

to ‘HUMANOID will cepart Costa Rica some tine during 1953. ve have already.
a begun turning over the vostsl intercept activity to HWHIST. dhen
-elearanca is obteined for HUNORESC UZ, and further observation is
completed, we contemplate turning UUMANOID}=3 over to YUNSNESCUB, In
adiition, we are getnering PRC data on additional potential cutouts,

"

6. With rezerd to Parc; :paph 9 of reference, it 1s to be
noted that we were in tse process of “developing cordial relitions :

tained friendly relations with hin, howover, on the possibility that
ho may again ot some future datc return to a responsible position,

f Te Concerning Para-raph lo of refereme, 4t is to be

1. At the request of Ur, falewell, I ret with Kumasoid on the i
occasion of his visit to Washington lest Novenber and made cerlein oral £
commitments on behalf of the Division. Mo commitment,’ however, was very
specific and all were cleared with the Division in advarce.. “vy partici-
pation in the matter was, of course, cving to the fact that I had
recruited Humanoid criginally and enjoy his confidence.

this orsanization as somewhat of a profitable avocation. Pis performance,
nonetheless, has teen outstandirg fron tie Doint of view of initiative, -
production and understanding of operational principles, He weuld now
like to make it a career but lacks sufficient infomation upon which to
base a decision and, being partially aware of the uncertainties involved,
insists upon maintaining an alternate vocation, In oursvit of this latter
objective, he plans to move to Suenos Aires in June or duly of 1953 and
establish hirself there Gn @ Dernanent basis. His inquiries were to
ascertain what effect these plars would have ‘upon his present and future
relationship with this organization.

3. I advised Humanoid to continue with his plans as outlined above,
: stipulating only that he remain in his present location until after the
forthconing elections and essured hin that as a consequence of his past
satisfactory service he koulc he nicked up in Eueros Aires atea compensa= .

'_ Recessarily have to be deternired at a later date but requested him to
. keep us informed of his plans on a continuing basis, assuring hir that
oo _-- +. &t would do no harm to request such assistance as he might need. In this
: . Connection, T advised him to request forv21 training, which he has never

- contract, future compensation, travel expense and so forth could best be
'’ Begotiated here at that tine.

: 5. I recomend, therefore, that Husanoid be brought to headquarters
for a period of training and that a contract agent relationship contain-

“ao Baste compensation should certainly consider his Fest record and proven

MEMORANDUM FOR CHIEF, BRANCH IIT
SUBJECT: HUMANOID

1. Attached hereto is a letter received from HUMANOID by Hr.

Edward A. Marelius, now at Headquarters and the former Chief of Station

at Costa Rica, who recruited HUMANOID.

2. Particular reference is made to Paragraph 6 regarding a change

in assignment. Mr. Marelius thinks that when subject finishes his
schoo] year in 1953 he should be brought to Headquarters for training,
and that be should be converted to Stat Agent for possible reassign-
ment in Latin America under deep cover. Mr. Marelius thinks that

HUMANOID wiil go stale in San Jose and that a Change should be made to

better utilize his services. Although subject is the principal source
‘in Costa Rica, he feels that arrangements could be made for an orderly

turn-over and departure. ,

3e While I was assigned in Panama I net subject, at which time
he was contemplating moving to Panama, attending the University, and’

_ working for the Panama stations He impressed me very well‘ and would

have. been quite an asset, but the deal.feil through due to the nigher
cost of living in Panama and the fact that he would losa considerable
credits in transferring.

he I do not know whether it can be worked out but I certainly

_ would go along with recommending that he be afforded training in the

UeS. and that he be reassigned, preferably to Argentina or-one of the
other countries where fic{s Agent needed for additional unofficial
cover. The question of his*converting to Staff agent might be worked

- out also.
